Vivien and Merlin.
A Study Read by Mr. O. F, Adams
te
Ills Class in English Literature,
Marcli 29, 1881.
V.
" A storm was cemiag, though the wiada were
still.''
Se opens the sad Ulyl which recounts
the triumphs of the wily Vivien ever the
safje Mei'liu. A storm was indeed coming
which was seen te burst upon the etder
el the Table Round, and sweep it from the
earth. Te the clear-sighted its signs were
even new visible ; but te the many the
" winds were still," and none was blinder
te the coming tempest than the blameless
kiug himself. Even when all the court
was buzzing with the guilty love of Lance Lance
eot and Queen Guinevere, the king, sus
pecting nothing, pursued his quiet way
absorbed in dreams of what he and his
Tabic Round were te accomplish for the
regeneration of the world. Conscious of
his own rectitude he did. net doubt but
that ethers were as pure as he.
" He is all iault that bath no fault at all,
and, perhaps, we should love this blame
less Aithur better if mere of human frail
ty yet clung te him. With but defective
instruments he set about a well-nigh im
possible task, and that he should fail was
te be looked for, though regretted. Still,
" net failure, hut low aim is crime," and
only in the judgments of worldly wisdom
is he what Dagenet calls him, " The King
of Feels !"
" A y, ay, my brother feel, the king of feels !
Conceits himself us Ged, that ha can make
Figs out of thistle, silk from bristles, milk
Frem burning spuixu honey from hornet
comb".
And men from beasts."
But it is the king's blindness te the evil
that is springing up around him that de
feats his own purpose. Emboldened by his
neglect sin makes headway in his court
atul one by one as it appears in various
forms many of his knights and dames fall
bt fore it. When Lancelet, the ilewer of
chivalry, becomes false te his vows, is it
any wonder that younger knights should
shelter themselves behind the example of
his great name ? When Queen Guinevere
allows it te be seen that net her husband
but another has her love, is net the tone
of womanhood about her court lowered
thereby? The storm may be long in
gathering, but it will burst crewhile.
Perhaps of all the men in Arthur's court
Merlin, the mighty magician, might have
been thought the lc.tst likclv te yield te
temptation.
"The most r.imeus man et all these times,
Mrrlin, who knew the range of all their arts.
Had built the kins hij havens, ships, and
halls.
Was aUe bard and knew the starry heavens."
He was old, nor.e knew hew old, for the
fires of youth had burnt themselves out
long ere the days of Arthur and the Table
Round, and few men were likely te be less
susceptible te the charms of womanhood
than he. "Vet it was no less a man than
he whose love the wily Vivien set herself
te gain.
"Whom at first
She play'd about with slight and sprightly
talk,
And vivid smiles, and faintly vcnem'cl points
Ot Marnier, glancing here and grazing there ;
And yielding le her kindlier moods, tliu seer
e-ild watch her at hrr petulance and play,
Ev'n when theyeeiiicd unlovable, and laugh
As :l:ese that waicl: a kitten."
He knew her well for what she was, the
falsest woman of the time, but becoming
used at last te her devotion
'He grew
Tolerant et what tie half dfedaiu'd, and she,
Peiceiving that "he was but half dwdaiu'd.
Retail te break her spur. a with graver flts,
Turn red or p.il would elten when thsy met
trigh fully, or nil-si ent gazj npnn him
With stieli a fist devoiien, that the old man,
The' doubtful, tclt the 'lattery, and at times
Would flatter Iih own wish in age for love,
And hail" believe her true."
It is in theso last Unc3 where lies the
heart of the mystery. " Leve," says an
American writer, " i.s nature te youth but
a heavenly surprise te age." That a
woman whose vows, he well knew, had up
te this time all biien traced in sand
should gain any approval, however faint,
from him, is-ehly te be explained by his
own wis'i in age for love."
There is no n.itnre, however cold, but
feels the il.ittery of devotion. Merlin, the
wise, with his frosty beard and shaggy
eyebrows, the mighty architect of Came Came
let, with all his insight into the hidden
mysteries of the world, is, like the rest of
his kind, open te the llattcry of love. IC
this fair creature did really leve him such
a leve would gild the frosty winter of his
life. And might it net be? In spite of
all his wisdom it was net wholly easy te
distrust this woman who could seem
"like the tendcrest hearted maid
That ever bided tryst at village stile."
In one weak moment of confidence he
"told her of a charm
The which If any wrought en any one
With woven pace and with waving arm,
The lii-iii se wrought en seem'd te lie
Closed in the lour walls of a hollow tower,
Frem which was no escape forevcrmere ;
And none could find th u man forevermore.
Ner could he sec but him who wrought the
charm
Coming uMApeing. and he lay as dead
Am. lest tTJliie and use and name and fame.'"
Hearing this a wild fancy eutered Viv
ien's head that could she but persuade
him te unfold this charm te her she would
practice it en him ami make his glory
hers. Filled with this idea she bent upeu
hiin all her arts and followed him te Brit
tany, " Ev'n te the wild weeds Ol Breccliande."
She asks at last that as a been, a pledge
of tiust he will teach her this charm
" Of w even puces and of waving hands,"
But this the wizard will net de, declar
ing she must ask some ether been. This
the wily Vivien, lovely, in her tears, avers
she has no heart te de and says the r'jyme
she heard Sir Laucelet once sing shall an
swer for her.
" In Leve, It Lnve be Leve, if Leve be ours.
Faith and unlaithcan ne'er be equal pewer:
Uiilaitli in aught is want of faith in all.
It is the little rift within the lute.
That by and by will make the music mute,
And ever widening slowly silence all.
The little rift within the lever's lut,
Or liitle pitted speck in garner'd fruit,
That retting inward slowly meulders all.
It is net worth the keeping ;let it go :
But shall it ? answer, darling, answer, no
And trut me net at all or al in all.'!
It is a lovely song though a false woman
sings it, and in spite of himself the sage
Meilin cannot lemain all unmoved when
after the last notes have dropped ene after
another "down the long steps that lead te
silence" she turns at length te him, with
all the semblance of innocence in these
fair, false eyes, saying
" O master, de you love my tender rhyme f
And Merlin loek'd and half believed her true,
Se tender was her voice, se fair her face.
Se sweetly gleam'd her eyes behind her tears
Like sunlight en a plain behind the shower."
Well understands this fair, false woman
hew te win this wise magician. Since her
beauty may net accomplish the conquest
her iujiiied iunecence shall de it. Pity for
her will move where all her ether arts
have failed. Weary of her railing at noble
names, for guilt ever likes te ieel that it
does net stand alone in sinning, and Viv
ien's innocence is a thincef the past, the
aged Merlin has let fall some words of
strong contempt for her. The words were
half inaudible, being spoken under his
bieath, but one bitter word has reached
her ear and she has caught something of
his mood from the frown upon his brew.
"and suddenly she took
Te bitter weepimr like a beaten child.
A long, long weeping net conselablc. "
Then her false voice made way with
broken sobs
"O, crueller than was ever told in tale.
Or sungin song ! O vainly vanished leve 1
O cruel, there was nothing wild or strange.
Or seeming shameful, ter what shame in lore.
Se love be true, and net as yems is nothing
j-oer vivien uau no uone ie win ms trust
Who call'd her what he call'd her all her
erime.
All all the wish te prove him wholly hcr's."
It is a wonderful piece of acting told with
consummate skill. Fer untold ages men
have been worked upeu by women's tears,
and the wisest are no stronger than the
foolish in this matter. Net ene indication
of Merlin's softer mood docs Vivien lese.
Her eyes are net se blind with tears that
she cannot see the signs of relenting in his
face. The tears flew en but there min
gles a strain of the subtlest llattcry with
her broken words.
" She paused, she turn'd away, she hung her
head,
The snake of geld slid from her hair, the braid
Slipt aud unceil'd itself, she wept atresh,
And the dark weed grew darker toward tlie
storm
In silence, while his anger slewlv died
Within him. till he let his wisdom go
Fer ease or heart, nnd half believed her true.
Only by the surrender of his better
judgment could this sage mazriciau be
wen. Vivien's history was all known te
him, but that she should have turned from
younger men te him, new in the dark win
ter of his age, conveyed a kind of flattery
that he was net strong enough te resist.
He pitied her as she had foreseen, moved
thereto by Iter seeming innocence, her
evident distress and her tender protesta
tions of her leve for him ; this last, net
least of motives. Aud s it was that at
length wrought upon by al her .tender
wiles, he
" Call'd her te shelter in the ho'lew oak,
' Conic from tti storm,' and having no reply.
Gazed at 'the heaving shoulder, and the taeu
Hand-hidden, as for utmost grief or shame ;
Then thrice cssay'd, by tendercst-leuching
lcrnn
Te sleek ncr ruffled psace of mind, in vain.
At last she let herself be ceiuiuei-'d by him,
Anu as tne cageilng newiy uuwu returns,
The sceuiing-iujuMd simp e-heart d thing
Came te her old perch b.ick ami settled there.
There while she sat, halt tailing from his
Knees,
Half nestled at his heart, and since ha saw
The slew tear creep from her closed eyelid
yet,
About her. mero In kindness than in love.
The gentle wizard cast a shielding arm.
The sort of coquetry in which Vivien in
dulges is old, almost, as the sun, but never,
surely, has it been mero delicately dc;
scribed. Nothing is emitted that may
heighten thetruthfuluess of the picture
but though the details are many, net one
is dwelt upon tee long. They are touched
upon merely, as a garden bird may pause
en many branches in it3 flight, but se
lightly that net one shall seem te bend
and only the gentle quiver of the twig
shall tell of the bird's presence.
I have called this idyl of Vivien a sad one,
and se it is, for it begins with the mutter
ings of coming storm and it closes in ruin
aud defeat. It is difficult, well-nigh im
possible, indeed, for us te arm ourselves
against temptation se securely but that
the enemy may yet find a weak point in
our armor. This gentle enchanter who
has worn
" The white ile-.ver of a biamele?3 life"
Se long, succumbs at length by reason
of what might have seemed a very harm
less thing, his. "wish in age rbr love."
The keen-eyed Vivien detected the flaw in
his armor aud, as wc knew, set heisclf te
win his love that she might gain his se
cret aud his glory become hers. Like
another Delilah she yearned te lead this
wiser Samson captive. And the saddest
thing about the story is that while ha half
distrusted her he should have allowed her
te work upon him by her arts. It was
his fatal temporizing with what he doubt
ed that brought a darkness en his name
and fame.
'The sin that practice burns into the bleed,
And net the one dark hour that brings re-
merse,
Will brand us, after, et wh03e leld wc be,"
and Merlin, lending a willing car te Viv
ien's flattery and sinking slowly but surely
into her toils, was far mero guilty than
another man who might have yielded te
tjhc sharp stress of sudden temptation te
repeiffl) sincerely after. When the storm
broke in the dark forest Vivien crept closer
te the wizatd in the shelter of the hollow
oak, frightened, but an actress still.
" She cat IM him lord and liee,
Her seer, her bard, her silver star of eve.
Her Ged, her Merlin, th-j one paieuutc love
Of her whole lite."
Reading ever this portion of tha idyl
we hardly knew which te admire most,
the wonderful acting of Vivien or the skill
by which the laureate has added iutensity
te the description in the account of the
storm here interwoven with the main
event.
" Ever overhead
Bcllew'd the tempest, aud the rotten branch
Enapi iu the rushing of the rivcr-iein
Above them ; and in change of glare and gloom
Hsr ryes and neck glittering went and came."
It is a masterly piece of work, this last
and in the lines that tell of the cessation
of the storm we can almost hear the tem
pest sobbing itself te silcnee iu the dis
tance. " New the storm, Its burst et paisien spent,
Meaning and calling out qf ether lauds,
Had left the ravaged woodland yet once mere
Te peace."
But in the peaceful woodland theve was
something that should net have been.
"Fer Merlin, evertalkcd and overwern.
Had yielded, told her all tha charm, and slept.
Then, in one moment, she put rerth the charm
Of woven paces a-nl of waving hands,
And In the hollow e.ik lie lay as dead,
And lest te life and use and name and lame.
Then crying 'I have made his glory mine,'
And shrieking out O feel !' the harlot leapt
Ade-.vn the forest, and the thicket elesed
Behind her, and the lerest eche'd ' tool'."
Se closes the saddest of the idyls. In
the story of Elaine, though the lily maid's
histeiy is in itself heart-breaking, yet in
the closing lines the assurance of Sir
Lancelet's final pcace is held out, aud in
that of Guinevere wc are told of years of
useful deeds ateuing for her sin. Iu that
of Enid we learn of Gambit's happy
death aud the Passing of Arthur ends with
the hopeful line
"And the new sun rose bringing the new
year."
Twe ether idyls of this Arthurian epic
close darkly and in gloom, thesad history
of Pelleas and Etarre, and the mournful
tale of the Last Tournament, but even iu
these we have no such elements of grief as
are in this idyl of Vivien. Sir Pelleas,
that bright boy knight, has seen the ruin
of all his fairest hepes : but he himself is
stainless, and in the Last Tournament Sir
Tristram dies a shameful death, but he
has sinned grossly and deserves his fate
and se we have no tears for him.
But in the story of Vivien we have at
the close that saddest of all spectacles, a
geed man gene grievously astiay
"And lest te life and use and name ami Tame.'

A Story Told or the Foamier of the Drcxel
Banking Heuse.

A Third street broker,, in speaking en
Saturday of the present well-known bank
ing firm of A. J. Drexel & Ce. and its
humble origin, told the following story of
Francis Drexel, the father of the two
brothers who are new joined in business :
Shortly after the close of the war with
Mexico many Spanish and Mexican silver
dollars found their way into the United
States, and were bought up by bankers
and raeney-dealeis all ever the ceuutry.
The psice paid for them varied greatly, ac
cording te the demand nnd supply and the
condition of the pieces themselves, these
in perfect preservation, of full weight and
without holes or ether defacement bring
ing mere than these net se well preserved.
The persons having these coins for sale
carried them about in all kinds of parcels,
using in their transportation handker
chiefs, paper packages, old stockings, tin
cans, kettles and boxes of all sizes and
descriptions.
At the close of a rainy day, during
which Mr. Drexel then doing a very
modest business en Third street as a
money and exchange broker had been a
large buyer of Mexican silver, and while
he was engaged in recounting his pur
chases preparatory te settling his cash ac
count, the deer of his banking house was
suddenly opened by a plainly dressed man,
who exclaimed : "I only have one hun
dred left, de you want them?"
Mr. Drexel, without raising his head,
replied: "I'll give von fifty cents for
them !"
"Ne," said the man, 4,I've sold all the
ethers at seventy-five cents and only have
a hundred left !"
Mr. Drexel replied : " I have bought
them all day at sixty cents, and if yours
have no holes in them I will tafce them nt
the same price, nnd that is the most you
can cet for them."
"I never saw any with holes iu them,"
said the man.
" Didn't you? said Mr. Drexel. " Half
of what we get are full of holes, where
they have been used a buttons."
The man scratched his head a moment
and then said ; " Very well ; I'll bring
them in right away."
Five minutes afterward he appeared
with a small tin kettle aud walking up te
the counter said : " Where shall I put
them?"
" Pour them out here," said Mr. Drexel
indicating a'pjrticular spot en the coun
ter. "I can't," said the seller, "they will all
slip olTen the fleer!"
Mr. Divxel, without withdrawing his
attention from the counting of his pur
chases of the day, called te his son Frank
te "bring a tray." When the tray was
brought it was found te have a large
crack across it. te which the man stren
uously objected, saving : "They will all
fall through " this nettled old Mr.
Drexel, who, in rather sharp words, told
him " that tray has held thousands and
thousands of them every day," and fur
thermore, in peremptory terms, bade him
"pour them out, quick?"
Acerdingly the kettle was raised te the
level of the counter and one hundred fat,
raw oysters were poured into the cracked
tray, much te the chagrin and disgust of
the banker and his son the former of
whom exclaimed : " Why these are oys
ters I"
"Well," said the eystcrtnan (who
knew nothing about Mexican silver),
" what the did you thiuk they were?"
